WebSDR AUV3 Plugin for DAWs

This is the only AUv3 plugin for use in an iPadOS/iOS Digital Audio Workstation. Unfortunately Apple made changes that directly affected this appโ€™s ability to connect to most WebSDR servers, fortunately you can still connect to several Russian servers which allows you to pick up Russian transmissions, see atmospheric disturbances and tune into data transmissions. If you want to surf more shortwave and scanner frequencies but do not need to route through a DAW, Echo:Global SDR Receiver will serve you better.

FAQ

What is WebSDR?

WebSDR is an Audio Unit plugin designed to play audio from Software Defined Radio (SDR) streams. It enables musicians to integrate the sounds of live radio broadcasts directly into their music performances and mixes.

What is Software Defined Radio?

Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that relies on software to process radio signals. It connects to a computer via an antenna and can receive a wide variety of radio broadcasts, including standard AM/FM, as well as specialized modes like LSB, USB, and CW used for various communication purposes.

How does WebSDR work?

This plugin accesses radio streams from a network of free servers, many operated by universities, located in different countries. By connecting to these servers, you can listen to a diverse range of radio signals in various languages and from different cultures, incorporating these unique sounds into your audio projects.

What are the limitations of WebSDR?

A key limitation is that the plugin requires Javascript to be enabled and the user interface to remain open while in use. If the UI is closed, Javascript stops running, and the audio playback will cease, similar to how a web browser tab stops playing audio when closed.

What kind of audio can I get from WebSDR?

You can access a wide array of radio broadcasts, including standard AM and FM, as well as specialized modes like LSB, USB, and CW. This allows for unique audio textures such as the crackle of old AM broadcasts or conversations on CB radios, providing interesting material for musical performances and mixes.
